My drain plug is completely stripped. I got it used so whoever had it before must have killed it. Is there another way or draining it?

there are many ways to drain it, not sure how you would fill it back up though. what do you mean its stripped? like the allen key doesnt turn the bolt, or the threads are stripped?hopefully your fill bolt isnt stuck, this way you could just use a pump to pull the fluid and push in the new right from the fill bolt. im not sure what these look like on 5spd, i know my tranny drain/fill bolt have a copperish ring on them which should be soft metal. sometimes its just a matter of breaking it free. you are using a lot of pb blaster yes? take a flat head and use a hammer to tap around on the copper ring. im not sure if a torch is a good idea there.
if you can get the fill plug off without issues, just use that. youll just need to get a pump to suck out the fluid, theyre only like $10-15 for a cheap hand pump. itll probably be just a pain to stick the hose to the bottom to suck everything out.
